Online Poker Is Illegal

[Megenoita]

I recently learned that making bets online is illegal in about half the states as they forbid any gambling other than expressly permitted in their law, and they don't permit online poker. Does anyone know a state or states where it's definitely legal to play online poker?

Thanks,
M

The people who worry about getting prosecuted for playing online poker are the same kind of people who make their kids wear helmets to school.

I don't think my mom is worried about getting prosecuted for playing online.

"Internet poker will continue to grow and expand and develop and morph, and the law will be powerless to stop it. In all probablity, if you wager real money on the internet you are breaking the laws of your home country, state, county, city or block. And they (whoever they are) can't do a damn thing about it. Not so long as there are countries like Costa Rica, Aruba and others with a willingness to host site servers. It's a big strong Genie now, spread loosley over the globe and attacking it is exactly as effective as shoveling smoke."

"If internet poker vanishes from the face of your screen it won't be for legal reasons. How am I so sure? After all, the best legal minds in the world are grappling with this question as we speak. THEY don't know whether online poker is legal or not. It may be illegal in Arkadelphia, where you're playing, legal in Wagga Wagga, where your opponent sits, illegal in Germany, which your online cash tranfer bank calls home, and yet again legal in Malagasy, site of the server you play on. Which jurisdiction applies? And even IF the sheriff of Arkadelphia decides that his word is law, what's he going to do? Bust down your door and take your computer? What about the guy's next door? What about the little old lady down the street? He CAN'T bust everyone, even if he endows himself with the legal right to try." ~ John Vorhaus
